Raspberry pi and Linux based photo editing software

Does anyone use from a portability perspective a raspberry pi and Linux based photo editing software? Any recommendations for Linux based photo editing software?

The only Linux photo editing software of which I am aware is GIMP. It may not be lightweight enough for Raspberry Pi, though.

GIMP is the only editing software I know about for Linux. It's menu system is very convoluted. I've used Photoshop on a Linux system, but it was a bit slow. I attempted to modify PS so it would run on LInux but about 1/2 way through I realized I was spending more time on modifying code than photography and ceased work on that project.

Gimp is indeed the only Linux based photo editing software that I am aware of and as stated previously, running it on a Raspberry PI system is probably not possible at least without some serious modifications. I use Gimp on a Windows based system now, but I am planning on moving it to a Mintbox computer soon. Anyway, if your looking for portability there are a number of very small Linux and Windows systems available that could be nearly as portable as your Raspberry PI. Good luck and good shooting to all.

I don’t have an answer but Keith Edmunds is a good friend and he runs Tiger Computing in the U.K. His website https://www.tiger-computing.co.uk/
Keith is a Linux specialist and probably has an answer for you. Best of luck!

There are many linux programs beyond GIMP for photo editing. Gimp is great, but a simple google search will quickly give you a list of 10-15 programs with various levels of capability from developing raw files to drawing an photo editing. I'm sure how much horsepower your raspberry pi has or what you want to do with it.
Personally, I have an old laptop running Ubuntu with Darktable and GIMP. I also use XnView to view Raw files and perform batch renaming. If you are looking for basic capability, Shotwell is lightweight and has basic editing capabilities as well as photo management.

I don't know about the Raspberry Pi, but for Linux there is:
Gimp
Darktable
RawTherapee
These are the most powerful/useful. There are also numerous catalog or management programs.
Shotwell
gThumb
digiKam
KPhotoAlbum

RawTherapee and Darktable are very popular but almost anything you use is likely to stress a raspberry. I wouldn't want to edit pics in an ordinary manner on a raspberry - emergency patchy edits maybe, but not full blown edit from Raw to a serious processed finish. Not enough time left for me to spend my time that way.

The Raspberry Pi is a very small computer but doesn't have keyboard, display or mouse so how do you make a portable system using it?

It has ports and add-ons.

But how you make it portable. I have one. After I added the keyboard the mouse and the monitor it's actually more like the desktop computer.

This is something I am looking to when I travel. You find them with a HDMI port and blue tooth for mouse and roll-up keyboard.

LOL. You're gonna like this - I don't have one but a couple of my sons do and they make 'em portable by putting 'em in their pocket when moving from one place to another and have peripherals they plug into at different locations. Not sure why they bother 'cause they also have laptops. A novelty, I suppose. Kinda silly.

Nor does it have a power supply internally.
How do you think a Raspberry Pi is a portable computer? An external keyboard, display and power supply doesn't make it "portable".
